NEW YORK (AP) Spike Lee is promoting a planned rally for free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
Lee tweeted an advertisement for the rally scheduled for Aug. 23 outside the NFL’s headquarters in New York City. The ad misspells Kaepernick’s name, omitting the first ”e.” Lee says on Twitter he didn’t organize the protest, but adds that he supports Kaepernick and ”His Stance On The Injustices In The USA.”
The rally is being organized by several civil rights groups.
The former San Francisco 49er became a topic of national conversation last year for choosing to kneel instead of stand for the national anthem, citing police violence and social injustice against minorities. He parted ways with the 49ers in March and hasn’t been signed by another team.

Losers support losers.
I wish they would protest on Staten Island for once. Always protesting in the safe places.
Colin WHO??
Lee’s rally yet again promotes the progressive’s false premise that you are not responsible for your actions if your are a person of color or a Muslim.
The rally organizers are fine with lower standards of acceptability. See how they don’t have a problem with misspelling Colin’s last name?
Colin Kaepernick Converted To Islam Before His Anti-American Stance. Coincidence?
Plus on 911 tribute Colin Kaepernick and other pieces of overpaid garbage spit in the faces of 9/11 victims and their families by refusing to stand for the National Anthem.
AS if that’s going to help. If I see a protest like that as an owner all I would see is what’s going to happen to my franchise if I ever sign him and have to cut him. No thanks.
All I can think of is: go ahead, knuckleheads ... pull that trigger.
ESPN's activist anchors need to get a clue.
Rally all you want, Spike.
That won’t make him a good QB.
He still sux.................

This will however have it’s intended effect. It will put pressure on Roger Goodell, who will pick-up the phone and put the heat on some team owner to sign him.
Just like Michael Sam.
Here’s hoping for a counter rally by supporters of law enforcement and/or Cuban Americans.
Sorry Spike, Kaepernick had no right to hijack the NFL stage. He was just another employee, he wasn’t the product. The customers weren’t buying the crap he was selling. It tainted the product. Kaepernick found out he is very easily replaceable. Effem.
Not that he had high prospects for working in the NFL again, but this would seem to guarantee the impossibility for him.
Dude’s cashing in the last bit of his fame-equity on a whine fest. We’ll endure it and then he’ll be out of the spot light until he turns up on a security camera somewhere just like OJ did nine years ago. Whatevz Kap.
why not ask Mad Max(ine) Waters to attend, too?
The guy was 4-20 in the last 24 games he started. Regardless of his stupid politics, would you want him on your team?
